if you shave, use a fresh razor per body part

if you nair, or wax, make sure to use a loofah sponge on your body during shower to
reduce ingrown hairs

good luck to you

I always used nair because I worked for the company that made it (Carter-Wallace, now Church and Dwight). I had cases of the stuff along with arid deodorant. They also make Trojan Condoms. Couldn't possibly have enough sex for all of those I had.

try laser hair removal, its kind of expensive but its worth it, never have to shave again and the area is smoother than ever, like you've never had hair there before.

I've done it 2 times now. Forearms and Chest.

Most companies charge per "zone." Depending on company will depend what defines a zone. Zone costs will range from 60-125. My company runs sales for men at 75 bucks a zone.

Each time you have it done... the hair gets thinner. Depending on how thick and course the hair was to start... will depend on how many times you have to have it done. I only had to do my forearms once... my forearm hair is really thin now. After the second time on my chest... I probably still have to go in another 3 times. Some places will sell you a complete package for 1k+.

The actual process is a bit uncomfortable. Just imagine 30 little storm troopers with laser guns attacking your hair follicles. The "numbing" cream that some places provide doesn't work that well imho.

I have not had it done yet, but will be gettin it done, especially on my back and chest. Its worth it. Like mentioned before its based on zone prices. It can take up to 4-5 treatments per area to completely remove all the hair or less. My wife has had it done and its amazing!!!!! I've never felt anything so smoooooth.
I figure the cost VS the time and effort spent doing it yourself makes it worth it alone, besides trying to keep the hair off the back of my neck and crap is almost impossible to do as I'm not very flexible.

ok people there is a new type of laser expensive but freaking unreal

6 sessions is 6k and its called tshirt package entire front including shoulders and entire back

did 2 of the 6 so far I mean seriously its amazing granted right now it looks funny cuz some spots i have hair some i dont but once complete it will be gone everywhere

and they dont have to go to every hair, its a laser machine called cutera they use and its almost no pain either just a little by chest and belly button area

laser cosmetica is the compnay who does it many locations and you can be dark and it still works

 

[muscleup]

Do you plan on running AAS later down the road ?......Cause if so it will more than likely all grow back.

thats what i was thinking..

im just afraid to shave my legs for the first time, i foresee alot of ingrown hairs and bumps.. ugh.. that wont look good, i have sensitive skin

 

[dhudson8]

It could come back with AAS, but it really depends on where you are having the hair removed. If it covers pretty much teh entire area already then your fine. The Hair should not come back, now if your doing your back or something your probably fine. I used to never have hair on my back until after aas then it started to grow in one area, which is actualy the same area I broke out when in teenage years, so once this hair is gone I'm assuming that it won't grow back anywhere else really, but who knows.
Either way its worth the money if the hair is a concern for you.

Shaving legs. I stay away from that myself only because of the ingrown hairs from rubbing on jeans and stuff. I just get some really close shaving clippers on go to town, it stays shorter much longer that way and is alot softer too. NO ingrown hairs.

i just used nair on some peachfuzz type hair on my biceps/triceps.. left it on for 10 minutes... tried to wipe it off.. and i got a half ass smooth bicep.. wtf? haha

Wax or laser hair removal. These 2 methods provide the best results. Obviously the waxing is temporary but a good wax will keep you hairless for 2-3 weeks.

 

[jmead]

and keep you broken out for 1-2 weeks of that 3 weeks haha.. i have pretty sensative skin.. my girlfriend convinced me to let her wax my eyebrows, i had little red patches of bumps for a week between my eyes.. fun stuff, dont think i want that on my legs/arms/torso

 

[anthony518]

nair, veet, are the best over waxing and shaving IMO

 

[Triple J]

i had the laser treatments and i liked the result. however eventualy the hair has come back although it may not be quite as thick. testosterone and gh will have that effect. now since i am poor i just trim (i bought that mangroomer product and it works great for those hard to reach spots) and then to get real smooth, apply nair after the trim down.

a friend of mine said he actually put nair on his ballsack but that is NOT recommended
